TM 5-3805-254-34APPENDIX DTORQUE LIMITSD-1.SCOPE.This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table D-1, and provides general information for applyingtorque. Special torque values and tightening sequences are Indicated in the maintenance procedures for applicablecomponents.D-2.GENERAL.a.Always use the torque values listed in Table D-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a specifictorque value.b.Unless otherwise Indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be t 10%.c.Torque values listed are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as alubricant. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.d.Capscrews threaded Into aluminum may require reductions In torque of 30% or more of Grade 5 capscrewstorque. Capscrew threaded Into aluminum must also attain two capscrew diameters of thread engagement.D-1
